process.

Trustee Peck thanked Trustee Racich for his comments and while he is not going to weigh in on
whether or not people should have guns, we do need to stop this violence.
PUBLIC COMMENTS (3 —5 Minutes)
Ms. Vicky Polito, Walkers Grove, expressed concern regarding how Trustee Peck reached out to the
Community regarding the landscape design services and referenced when he was the Executive
Director at the Park District. Trustee Peck responded that Ms. Polito is entitled to her own opinions,
but not her own facts.
